and they have been very clear that egypt has a relationship, they have the credibility and influence in the region to push hamas to stop the attacks. now, there is also a fair amount of funding being held up in washington right now that the egyptians need very immediately. remember, they weren't just one of the top recipients of foreign aid. they have a funding crisis. they have literally been to the point where they have had problems paying bills. so there is some immediate leverage to gets them to act immediately. whether that ends up being effective or not is another question. >> schieffer: well, do we think the administration-- obviously, i would guess they're advising the israelis not to invade. but what beyond that are they trying to do? is this an opening to start a-- the peace process to get it started again, david? >> bob, if-- if-- if mursi, and turkey, the key players, in working toward a cease-fire, we're likely to have a cease-fire. we'll either have a cease-fire or israeli invasion. if there is a cease-fire that is the kind of thing that can be a building block. if you

>> egypt is obviously in the spotlight. we don't really know exactly what the goals are for egypt. it's muddled. since taking power, the brotherhood decided to step back, you know, from the priest statements of strong support for hamas. it looks like hamas is in a better position. as steve points out. as a result of the arab spring, israelis are more vulnerable than they were a year ago. i think it is up to president obama to back up statements with serious reengaging with turkey and egypt right now. they might be having the talks but until the u.s. gets involved, i think there is not a likelihood of cease-fire. if there is one, it just seems in the absence of a political resolution, which seems hopeless at this point, it seems like it will be temporary. it won't be durable one. >> shannon: charles, talk about turkey. today, the prime minister there referred to israel as a terrorist state. that raised hackles here in washington and elsewhere. what do you make of it? >> it's win of the reason -- one of the reasons that hamas started this in the first place. they did with a barrage o
